Judge Carey Believes Convic

'KJUDICE IS BLAMED
IPeoplc Declared to Misunderstand
Case and Loyalty of Miller
(During War Defended.
Back from 'Washington, where he
vent to argue the Albers case before
f he supreme court. Judge C. H. Carey,
if counsel for the convicted Portland
niller whose conviction under the es
pionage act appears nulled by action
nf Solicitor-General Frierson, declared
limself as much disappointed as any-
ne with the summary disposition of
I he case and that be desired, most of
luU to present Albers side before the
supreme court and win a clear ac
quittal.
Judge Carey declared he protested
Fo the supreme court against con
ession of error being taken by the
bovernment, through the voluntary
Inotion of Solicitor-General Frierson,
nd stated he was in Washington to
lirgue the question of whether Albers
fiad done anything unlawful or dis
loyal to the United States.
Action Declared Unsatisfactory.
Judge Carey maintained that a re-
ersal of the case that would trend it
back to the Oregon courts without the
i.upreme court having passed upon the
question of whether the record showed
crime had been committed was en
Urely unsatisfactory to Albers as well
us to himself. Judge Carey main
gained that the facts in the case were
apparent to a fair-minded Derson
that he had no fear whatever as to
luie final disposition of the matter. He
lid:
"To begin with, I want to assure
he people of Oregon that the action
ratten by the department of justice
n confessing: error was not due to
ny request of mine or to influence
oy anyone whomsoever. It was the
spontaneous act by the officials of
:he department of justice after a
l:arcful etudy of the case. They were
Itnwilling to make an argument to
the supreme court in support of the
1 onviction because it was so Dlalnlv
f-rroneous and unjust that there were
no two sides to the case.
Misunderstanding; Is Blamed.
"In the second place, I want to say
emphatically as words can state
It that the prejudice against Mr. Al
ters by patriotic men and various as
sociations is based upon a total mis
conception of what this case is.
"I am, I hope, as loyal to my coun
try as any other citizen of Oregon
Imd after more than a third of a cen-
fury of experience at the bar of my
mate I Kbpe that my voice will be
f.istcned to when I say that Henry
Albers is not only entirely innocent
of the crime with which he is charged,
hut that the record shows he was de
liberately plied with liquor by a de
cpicaoie group of persons until he
vas made so helplessly drunk that he
Iwas carried to bed and put in a berth
i ith his clothes and his shoes on and
that when the Pullman porter pro
tested and took away the liquor with
which they were taking turns in
inaking him drink, one of these men.
Inaking a fraudulent use of a badge as
; deputy sheriff, again procured the
iquor and continued its use until the
llisloyal words were extracted from
Lim and noted down.
Evidence Held Inadmissible.
"Not only this, but in order to se-
rure his conviction perfectly lawful
htatements about Germany made
-hree or four years before this oc
currence were brought into the case
bnder the rule that admits other ut
terances in such cases when made at
or about the same time and when sim
ilar in character to those alleged in
khe indictment. That they were not
Iddmissible, but were seriously preju
dicial to justice, is too plain for argu
ment.
"I am as much disappointed In the
confession of error by the solicitor-
fceneral as anyone could possibly be.
p.nd I will be glad to unite with the
iistrict attorney and the representa-
- Ives of the bar association in having
the case reinstated in the supreme
ourt.
Census Report Sliows 1,989,216 of

in Sew York City.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 6. New
Tork City's foreign born white popu
lation showed slight increase in num
bers, and went down in its ratio to
total population, according to 1920
census figures made public today.
The increase in numbers for the last
decade was less than one-tenth of
that for the previous ten years, and
the percentage, compared with total
population, dropped from 40.1 to 35.4.
The actual numerical increase was
61,613, bringing the city's total for
eign born to 1,99,216. In 1910 an
increase of about 660,000 was re
corded for the previous ten years.
Russia continued to lead as the
country of birth among New Tork
City's foreign born with 479,481.
There was an apparent decrease of
4708 of those listed as born in Rus
sia, compared with ten years ago.

Jacob Gould Schurman Selected
by President Harding.
WASHINGTON D. C, May 6
Jacob Gould Schurman of Ithaca,
N. T., former president of Cornell
university and former minister to
Greece and Montenegro, is under
stood to have been chosen by Presi
dent Harding for American minister
to China,
Official inquiries regarding the ac
ceptability of Dr. Schurman are yet
to be made at Peking, but it is taken
for granted here that the selection
will meet with the approval of the
Chinese government and that Dr.
Schurman's name will be sent to the
senate in the near future.
Dr. Schurman-, for many yars has
been an authority on international
law and economies. He has traveled
extensively and la 1899 was president
of the first United States Philippine
commission. His service as minister
to Greece and Montenegro took place
during 1912-13.
Objection Declared Ic-nored.
The course taken by the govern-
oent was over my objection in open
ourt and prevented my arguing the
merits of the case to the court, as 1
vas entitled to do, because the evi
dence in the case was practically un
disputed. I undertake to say that no
fair-minded man could read the ad-
Inltted facts in, the case and not see
that Albers was innocent and should

WAR VETERAN IS SUICIDE
La Grande Man Who Served In Si
beria Suffered From 111 Health.
LA GRANDE. Or., May 6. (Spe
cial.) A post-war tragedy was en
acted here late today, when Arthur
Karnes, eon of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Eames, of this city, committed suicide
because of ill health. The family was
preparing to move and while alone,
young Eames removed ' a shotgun
from its box, placed the end of it in
his mouth and fired. Although work
men were in the yard, the shot was
not heard, and a few minutes later,
Arthur's mother entered the room to
find the dead body of her son.
Mr. Karnes served in the United
States army in Siberia and upon his
return home was sick, having been
in the state hospital at Pendleton for
some time. Previous to the incident
he had made some remark to the
workmen which cave the impression
that he was 'afraid of insanity. He)
left a note for his parents, asking
forgiveness for the deed.
WALLACE TO LEAVE PARIS

after a few days there proceeding to
his home in Tacoma.
Myron T. Herrick, the new ambassa
dor, will arrive in Paris the middle of
July, Mr. Wallace said, and the coun
sellor of the embassy will act as

SECRETARY MAKING GOOD
Department Head Inspires Confi
dence by Quiet but Effective
Way of Tackling Task,
BT MARK SULLIVAN.
(Copyright by the New Tork Evening Post,
Inc. Published by Arrangement.)
WASHINGTON, I. C, May 6. (Spe
cial.) Everbody thinks of Mr. Hughes
as having the biggest job in the cab
inet and as living up to it in a way
that commands universal admiration,
so long as our foreign affairs are so
complex and so pressingly important.
This judgment is correct.
But it is also true that another man
in the cabinet, much less in the public
eye, has a job the difficulties of which
are not perceptibly less. The public
eye does not realize yet how heavy a
burden rests on Secretary Mellon of
the treasury. The changes that have
taken place in this department in the
direction of size and complexity are
not realized. When Wilson became
president the treasury did a business
of, roughly, a billion dollars a year,
and carried a public debt that was
comparatively negligible. During the
eight years of Wilson's administration
the changes that occurred in the
treasury department were enormous.
To mention only the more important
differences between the treasury at
the time Wilson came into power and
the treasury as Secretary Mellon finds
it, is to make an extremely impressive
catalogue.
New Departments Added.
The annual financial operations of
the treasury have increased from,
roughly, a billion dollars to- approxi
mately five billions. The public debt
has increased from a negligible euro
to more than 20 billion dollars. Many
new departments have been added of
size and importance as great as the
whole treasury itself was eight years
ago. The income tax law entails an
nual financial operations greater than
the entire business of the treasury
formerly. The enforcement of the pro
hibition law has added to the treas
ury a force almost as great as the en
tire former force of the treasury de
partment. Through the federal reserve
act the treasury has taken over a de
gree of management of the banking
business of the country which is eo
big and so vital as to be more impor
Narcotics Bought in America and
Sneaked Back Here to Be Sold
at Great Profits.
NEW YORK, May 6. Carleton
Simmon, special deputy police com
missioner, today charged that Japan
and Germany were waging a contest
for world-wide control of narcotics.
Addressing the national " police
chiefs convention, Mr. Simmon, .1
command oi the local narcotic divi
sion, asserted that not only was
Japan manufacturing drugs on a vast
scale, but some of her merchants were
Import'ng narcotics from the United
States only to smuggle them back
into this country and China at large
profits.
He explained that while American
manufacturers were barred from sell
ing their products to peddlers here.
they were not prohibited from ex
porting their wares.
Japanese merchants, he continued
were purchasing every ounce of nar
cotic drugs they could buy in America,
A ton of these drugs was shipped
from Seattle to Japan in a single
month, he declared, adding that the
Japanese ring knew American manu
facturers are law abiding, and that
street vendors could get their supply
of narcotics only from smugglers.
"On the other hand," said Mr. Sim
mon, "we nave in Germany me o'g
gest manufacturers of drugs in the
world. These men know that Japan
is attempting to obtain control of
the narcotic drug situation of the
world. In consequence there is a drug
war at present between these two
nations."
LIQUOR SEARCH HIT BLOW
Belief or Suspicion Insufficient as
Basis of Warrant.
HELENA. Mont.. May 6. Belief or
suspicion were held to be Insufficient
grounds for issuing a search warrant
under the laws of Montana, in a de
cision of the state supreme court to
day in a Miles City liquor case.
"Probable cause" for belief on the
part of the magistrate that the law
is being violated must be shown be
fore a warrant can issue, the court
ruled.
Liquor illegally seized and later
recovered by the defendant, the
court's ruling holds, cannot subse
quently be used as evidence against
him.
HARNESS PROBE ORDERED
Weeks Requests Inquiry Into Sale
of War Materials.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 6
Thorough investigation of the con
tract with the United States Harness
corporation covering conversion and
sale on a commission basis of surplus
war department harness valued at
approximately 125,000,004, has been
asked of the department of justice
by Secretary Weeks.
The war secretary seeks determina
tion as to whether criminal liability
attaches to any corporation official
because of previous association with
the war department.
President of Company, In Petition,
Says Executive Refused to Give
10-Minute Interview.
MADISON, Wis., May . The im
peachment of Governor John J. Blaine
because of his refusal to give ten
minutes of his time on a busy day to
listen to the troubles of a local bond
house was asked today by Victor H.
Arnold, president of the Madison com
pany, in a petition to the legislature.
The interview was asked, according
to Arnold's statement, because no ef
fort had been made onhe part of the
local district attorney to secure evi
dence in a local bond company case
where Arnold accused the vice-presi'
dent of the company with embezzling
funds. ,
Arnold declares he believed the ac
tion of the governor In refusing to
see him "is opposed to public policy
and endangers the rights, privileges
and freedom which the constitution
of the United States gives to him as i
citizen of the 'same."

End of Westbound Conference Is
Declared to Mean Bidding
for All Cargoes.
SAN FRANCISCO, May S A sharp
competitive contest between Ameri
can ' and foreign-owned steamship
lines on the Pacific was forecast by
shipping board officials today a a
result of the disbanding yesterday of
the Pacific coast west-bound confer
ence, which had held both interests
today in rate agreements.
The end of the conference will
mean that the Toyo Klsen Kaisha,
Java-Pacific, China Mail and other
lines touching coast ports will be
compelled to bid against the American-owned
and operated lines for car
goes and passengers, the board offi
cials said.
The conference threatened to break
up several weeks ago when the Java
Pacific withdrew, and the China Mail
followed later.
Shipping interests do not believe
that there will be a rate war, but that
there will certainly be a sharp ad
justment of rates destined to greatly
increase cargo and passenger lists.
While each line will be "out for it
self," shipping board officials ex
pected that the American lines would
be in agreement as to the rates to be
established and the different ports
would act to establish and maintain
uniform schedules.
